Chapter 442 Escape (4)

As soon as the furnace door was opened, the mechanism button inside remained sunken. I tried to press it, and the mechanism popped up. At the same time, I heard a burst of clicking from the furnace cauldron above. sound.

It became.

I listened carefully to the movement around me, and sure enough, the sound of friction coming from afar also came out. If the stone gate outside is really controlled by this alchemy furnace, then the stone gate should have been opened by now.

I got out of the alchemy furnace, intending to leave with the scimitar, but when I looked around, there was nothing.

It is impossible for a person and a corpse to disappear without a reason. I suspect that there may be other secret passages in this place, and the scimitar and the feather corpse probably got into it.When I lit these stone lamps at the beginning, I originally wanted to search for secret passages, but because the scimitar suddenly dug out an inner alchemy, I interrupted the matter.

Now, although I want to merge with the machete, but my skills are weak, and I don't know anything about ancient mechanisms. Even if there is a hidden passage, I can't find it right now.

Scimitar said before leaving that he had a plan, he thought he had some plans, after all he is not stupid, it is impossible for him to die in vain, even if I find a secret way, with my skills, in dealing with Yushi, It probably won't be of much help, so instead of this, it's better to follow the machete's order, open the stone gate and leave first, if he can't wait for him to come out, then it's not too late to think about the way out.

Having figured this out, I immediately stopped worrying about the inexplicable disappearance of the scimitar and the feather corpse, and instead ran back quickly.I thought that the stone door must have been opened, but I ran to the end in one breath, only to find that the stone door blocking the exit was still standing there motionless.

I was stunned and a little dumbfounded.

The mechanism in the door furnace is useless?

Isn't this stone door controlled by the door furnace mechanism?

So what was that friction sound I heard just now?

I immediately thought of another possibility: Could that sound be the sound of another secret passage opening?But I was in the alchemy room just now, and I clearly didn't see any other secret passages exist?

In the next second, I thought of the living room, and said to myself: If it's not in the Dan room, could it be in the living room?This place is all sealed, if you can't find the exit, you will probably be suffocated here in a short time.

I immediately ran back to check the three stone chambers outside, and after looking at it, I actually found the secret passage.

The location of the secret passage is very eye-catching, right at the bed of the stone bed. The place was originally an earth-stone structure, but it was built with bluestones to prevent moisture. We didn’t pay attention to it before, but now, the bluestones piled up form an open door. the door.

When the lights are turned on, there is a downward stone step behind the door. The shape of the stone steps is very regular. It is not difficult to imagine that many skilled craftsmen were hired when the cave was built.

Two Taoist priests alone certainly cannot do this. Even if these two Taoist priests were rich, in the social environment at that time, it was difficult to invite a group of skilled craftsmen to risk their lives to come to this place to build Dongfu.

Unless they have the right to.

Taoist priests are monks, and they don't have much power in themselves. It seems that the speculations made by Machete and I are relatively reliable. These two Taoist priests should be "enshrined" by some princes and nobles.

I turned the light into the dark passage, and there was a thin layer of dust on the stone steps below, and no footprints were left on it, so I concluded that even if the scimitar and the feather corpse entered a certain dark passage, Probably not this one.

strangeness.

Why do you have to build so many secret passages in this cave?What's at the end of the dark passage?
At this moment, the way out was blocked, and I wanted to go down this secret passage, but because this secret passage and the scimitar did not go to the same one, I was a little hesitant.

Who knows if these secret passages are connected?Will it be the opposite?This possibility is very high, because if the secret passages are connected, there is no need to make so many entrances.

I decided to go to the alchemy room to look for it again. If I couldn't find the secret passage that the scimitar took, it would not be too late to go down the secret passage in front of me.

When I returned to the alchemy room, I spent more than 20 minutes searching the entire alchemy room carefully, but in the end I still found nothing.

Well, there is no second way now, I opened my equipment bag and cleared my supplies.

The flashlight only has one-third of the power left, and the food is relatively sufficient, enough to eat for four or five days, and the water is only enough for one day. The weapons include daggers, machetes, and pistols, but the guns are running out of bullets, and there are still eight. In addition to the amount of ammunition, there are ropes, medicines, and quick hangers. The powerful searchlight with no electricity is also in my equipment bag. This thing is very heavy, and it can’t be used now, so I Cleaned it up and tossed it aside.

After doing all this, I decided to look into that dark passage to see if I could find a way out. Of course, it would be even better if I could join the machete.

Since I don't know if there is a vent under that passage, in order to save oxygen, I blew out all the burning oil lamps when I left. I don't know if the lamp oil in this stone lamp has been added. After burning for more than 30 minutes, the amount of oil has not decreased significantly.

Since the power of the flashlight is low, in order to prevent accidents, I poured a part of lamp oil into the telescopic stick. One end of the stick was firmly blocked with gauze. When necessary, this thing can be used as a stick. A torch, and it is the kind of torch that is difficult to extinguish and can burn for a long time.

After applauding my wit in my heart, I started to walk down the secret passage in the living room with a flashlight on.

The stone steps of this secret passage are not straight up and down, but are built in a spiral shape, and the surroundings are not all rock structures, but soil interbedded with stones, but after being rammed and reinforced, the color has become a dark yellow, like a sticker. It's like an old parchment roll.

Going down the spiral staircase, turning several turns, I calculated the depth, and estimated that when I descended about [-] meters, a small dark room appeared at the end of the stone steps. The dark room is relatively small. There was nothing but one thing.

It was a round vat placed in the middle of the dark room. The white porcelain vat looked very thick, about one meter high, and the top was open. A pungent smell like chemicals emanated from the vat.

I covered my nose and took a closer look, and found that there was a jar of strange jelly-like paste in the jar. There was a large piece of paste in the middle, with traces of being scooped by a spoon.

For a while, I was a little confused: what is this thing?jelly?Could it be the food stored in the basement?Could this pungent smell be the smell of spoiled food?
No, there is no need to build a secret passage to eat in one tank, right?
